I had a chance to be up when the lunar eclipse happened last night, so I decided to put my 2x extender and my long lens to use. Put my Canon 5D Mark III on a tripod and took various exposures. This is my favorite. I think you can see various planets as well. Apparently most of Portland had clouds so I guess I got …

Lauren and Trevor’s winter wedding was at Grace Lutheran Church in Portland. Grace Lutheran Church is a beautiful church with lots of stain glass. The balcony was great for capturing the action, and we were lucky to have multiple view points. One of the most fun part of the wedding is that a friend of the couple who could not attend the wedding was able …

Being from Portland, we do not shy away from rainy weddings. Kimberly warned us that it would be rainy at Paliku Gardens at Kualoa Ranch in Oahu. Well, we got more than we bargained for. The good thing about different weather conditions is that you can some amazing photos that normally you do not have a chance to. Kind of making lemonade if life gives …

I was editing weddings, corporate events and portraits for many days straight when I saw a good friend of mine, Maya, post that Multnomah Falls was partially frozen and was full of snow. I keep my gear packed usually and on a whim, I got in my car and went to take some pictures – last time I saw Multnomah falls in the winter snow …

Summers in Portland are hard to predict. In my opinion we have the best summers anywhere in the Portland area, but once in a while a freak storm comes in. Well, this time it was one of the strongest storms of the last 30-40 years. This didn’t stop Monica and Jeff from having a super fun wedding! It also allowed me to capture some of …

I love being able to shoot short and intimate Portland weddings as well as the bigger, more elaborate weddings. They are both challenging and fun in their own ways and variety is the spice of life, right? Stevens Pavilion at Hoyt Arboretum is a lovely beautiful location. You are surrounded by nature all around. It is right by Forest park, one of the country’s largest …

I loved all the little details Whitney and Kyle put in their DIY wedding – a camera scavenger hunt for kids and little sheriff stars for them as well, beautiful decorations with sun flowers, and a tree of life 3D wedding signature “book”, a very rustic barn set up with a photo booth, a candy bar (my favorite thing at a wedding food wise 🙂 …

I loved working with Laurel and Gabe. They are a super sweet couple that was also relaxed and fun! We started the day at Laurel’s parent’s house. Laurel’s dad David proudly showcased probably the most impressive guy shoes I have seen at a wedding – they glow! We then moved the Havurah Shalom. The couple signed their ketubah and then the ceremony itself was fun …

This was a very sweet intimate wedding at the beautiful Timberline Lodge, one of the most beautiful and Oregon-esk wedding venues around! Whenever we shoot there, you never know what to expect in terms of the weather, if Mt. Hood will be completely visible and that is part of the charm. Peter and Keely are a super sweet couple, and we were blessed that the …

I love couples that think outside the box! Jennifer and Nate in my opinion fits this well. They had a wedding at their apartment’s courtyard and then had a wine cellar wedding! How cool! Then they waved at everyone from their balcony. I knew I would like them a lot – we had a great engagement session around their place at the pearl district, and …
